New Product Alert: DSPico Finally have the injection molded cases in hand. Grey will ship starting Wednesday next week, clear shell units will have about a month delay, but the final shell passed inspection so I will be putting them into production now. www.laserbear.net/products/dsp...

New Product Release SD2SP2 ACE: www.laserbear.net/products/gam... This is not a pre-order, but due to high demand orders may take longer than our typical 2 day fulfillment estimates.

SD2SP2 ACE will be released for order on Monday. Finally have the fit and finish where I want it. Added a snap clip, and a foot so it doesn't sag under the console, and the foot fits perfectly into a GameBoy Player if that is also installed.

There's now a new version of the #GameCube homebrew ethernet adapter that doesn't stick out the side! Check out the post for links and more info: retrorgb.com/gamecube-swi...

Some APA102 LEDs fun driven by ESP32 ULP co-mcu on @collingall.bsky.social DC internal mod proto

Damn these Noctua NF-A4x10 5v are beautiful in Black with the Brown bumpers. Been a while since we could stock this color way. I need to get the tariff invoice from UPS before I list them I have an idea what that looks like but until I get the final pricing I can't list these for sale.

Getting ready to send off the first test unit for @darthcloud.blueretro.com threw together a test firmware to validate the addressable LEDs since they were a pain to solder. It's so nice to see them shine. #DreamcastBlueRetro

#LCDJewel we have life, booting a simple bootloader. I'm excited to get back to work with this monster of a MCU.

New Protos today just need to pencil in time to get them assembled today. #GameCube #LCDJewel #Dreamcast #blueretro

Turns out the day still had more goodies in store. My RetroTINK 4k DB15 to S-Video(Enhanced) and CVBS Adapter from @collingall.bsky.social arrived. I can confirm the fabled gummy bears are delicious. Now let's try some enchanced s-video. 🧵👇

This Opentendo build for @choppedup4lyfe.bsky.social is FIRE HOT! It's using Merlin Shaw's power module and both PCBs have a gorgeous red silkscreen that matches with a RGR red transparent shell! To top it off, I installed a Hi Def NES with @collingall.bsky.social no-cut HDMI port on the bottom!

Thanks @collingall.bsky.social for his great flippydrive SD extension... And the candies 😉

Massive props to @collingall.bsky.social for the blueretro GC controller port & noisebuster fan & 3d print

Back in Stock Alert: RetroTINK 4k S-Video/CVBS adapter for the DB15 port allowing for enhanced S-Video support. This restock is of the newer refreshed design that also has a serial port interface for use with switcher mods. www.laserbear.net/products/ret...

New Product Release: MiSTer.2 a M.2 NVME SSD adapter for MiSTer Stacks This is a tool-free M.2 NVME adapter that you can install a M.2 drive into. This allows for large game libraries to be stored on a media that is less prone to failures like SD cards. www.laserbear.net/products/mis...

The final bit to validate on the refresh of the RT4k SVideo(enhances)/CVBS adapter. Easy solder free access to the serial port interface, allowing for serial connectivity to external switchers. Simple JST PH 3pin connector to keep the form factor as small as possible. Expect restock by Friday.

GDEMU mount for the RE fans coming to Laser Bear soon.

Refresh of the RT4K SVideo(Enhanced)/CVBS to DB15 adapter, we had some complaints on the original this increases the size of the thumb wheels, and makes it possible to remove the screws from the adapter if desired. There are also pads to bread out the serial coms from the DB15.

New Product Release: CEC-Enabler for MiSTer Provides CEC controls from your TV to the MiSTer. It emulates a USB Keyboard after translating the commands from your TV Remote. Fully open source firmware. See product description for more details. www.laserbear.net/products/cec...

Gotta get my thermal probe and figure out where the PSU for this PS2 disappeared to, but the fit for the new Noctua 60x15 fan is perfect. Makes for a really low priced bracket and potentially a simple resistor based fan adapter.

Filling in for shipping while my shipper is out on leave for the next week or two. The temptation was too strong, I ate from my own supply. #gummybears

The guys at Retro Fighers were kind enough to get me a Battler GC Pro to test with #BlueRetro it works nearly out the box, just a few changes to make on the web interface, and potentially a firmware update on the controller. Follow this guide www.laserbear.net/blogs/docume...

The LCD Jewel project is still in the works, it is moving to a new MCU. The ESP32-P4 is a powerful video enabled MCU that is designed for multimedia, which is what I want the Jewel to do. Here is my first PCB Test, I am just waiting on the P4 to drop for mass manufacturing.
